(Minghui.org) I’m a retired senior engineer who began practicing Falun Dafa in 1994. I was born during the Great Famine. I was weak due to hunger and had a poor immune system. My father passed away when I was going to university, and my mother didn’t have a steady job. My sisters and I were in school, so our family had little money.
These family misfortunes put me under immense mental stress. I developed a stubborn skin disease that was caused by my weakened immune system. To treat it, I took large amounts of hormones. Instead of curing the condition, it caused gynecological problems. I sought medical help everywhere, trying Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and folk remedies—almost every medical method imaginable, but all to no avail.
I got married and gave birth to my son. He was also in poor health and frequently had fevers and diarrhea. Despite my own health problems, I had to take him to the hospital. My husband was obsessed with making a name for himself and secretly resigned from his job when my son and I needed his care the most. When he abandoned us to pursue his own happiness, I was filled with grief, anger, and worry.
My husband’s heartlessness struck me like a heavy blow, and I finally collapsed. My husband and I are both from out of town, and none of our family members live in the area. I was sick but there wasn’t anyone to look after my son. I gave him a little money to buy himself cookies, and he played outside all day. Two days later, my neighbor noticed that he hadn’t gone to kindergarten. When they asked him about me, they learned that I was sick. The husband, a driver, drove me to the hospital, while the wife took care of my boy.
After she heard what happened, my elderly mother rushed from her hometown to care for me and my child. Drinking bitter medicine every day and experiencing the coldness of human nature made me realize how bitter it was to be human being, and even more so to be a woman. I lamented my fate, and I struggled through each day.
Master Li, Falun Dafa’s founder, came to my city to teach the practice, and I was fortunate to attend his classes. I understood why people suffered, as well as the causal relationship between good deeds and blessings, along with bad deeds and karma. I also learned that the true essence of life is to return to one’s true self. Many of my questions were answered.
After listening to Master’s lecture on the first day, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down, and slept soundly until dawn! My insomnia, which plagued me for years and was one of the three major intractable diseases in medicine, disappeared after I listened to just one of Master’s lectures. Dafa is truly miraculous.
I listened to Master’s lectures with great eagerness, and I was afraid to miss a single word. I also witnessed the celestial eye Master described in his lectures. Scenes in other dimensions clearly appeared, and Master’s Law Body, radiating golden light, manifested before my eye. The atheism and evolution theory in my mind collapsed. After the lecture series, my entire worldview changed.
The attendees took a group photo with Master at the end of the classes. After that I walked out of the auditorium, looked up at the sky, and felt how clear and blue it was, and how warm the sunlight was. Suddenly, a strong, warm current surged from the bottom of my heart: I practice Falun Dafa and I have a Master now. I am the happiest person in the world! At that moment I realized that my past self no longer existed, and I’ve begun a brand new life.
Master purified my body after I began practicing Falun Dafa. Three months into my practice, one day while doing the second exercise, I suddenly experienced increased bleeding. Warm, fresh blood flowed down my legs and into my slippers. I wasn’t concerned, and simply washed it off, went back inside, and continued doing the exercises. Later, a uterine fibroid the size of a small egg came out and my gynecological problems disappeared. I felt energetic and strong. I could walk lightly and ride a bicycle swiftly—it felt like I being pushed. My stubborn skin condition also disappeared, and my complexion was rosy. I felt like a completely different person. The extraordinary power of Dafa manifested in my body time and time again.
When I went to work wearing a dress I hadn’t worn in a long time, everyone was amazed. “Falun Dafa is truly miraculous!” one person commented. After that, dozens of people in my workplace, from leaders to regular employees, began to practice Falun Dafa, and they even told their families to practice it. My mother, son, sister, and many other relatives also began practicing.
Remaining Calm While Facing Adversity
I was friendly, obedient, and good-tempered from a young age, and my parents loved me very much. I was soft-hearted and timid. Whenever I saw scenes of torture or horror in movies, I covered my eyes in fear, unable to bear seeing others suffer. If I unintentionally hurt someone, I felt very guilty and couldn’t let it go for a long time. If I was bullied, I wouldn’t fight back; I was afraid and I avoided them. I was rather timid. I was a good student, had good grades, and I was friendly. My teachers and classmates liked me. I was always a student leader, but was often bullied by classmates due to misunderstandings. I didn’t know how to explain or clarify the situation; instead, I helplessly endured it and I did not understood why.
Due to years of illness and an unhappy marriage, my heart was filled with pessimism, grievances, and resentment. My mood was terrible, and my temper gradually worsened. I had no one to confide in about my inner pain, so I often vented my frustration to my mother and children. My mother complained about how my temper had become like this!
Practicing Falun Dafa gave me a new life, and my health improved significantly. I work during the day, and after work I read the Fa (teachings), do the exercises, and tell others about Falun Dafa. I never feel tired. My mother happily calls me an “iron woman,” and I truly feel full of energy.
I’m happy every day, and my resentment towards my husband has vanished. I feel fortunate that I found Falun Dafa because of my illness and emotional hurt; I feel the suffering I endured in this life cycle was well worth it, and I no longer resent him. This is the compassionate power of Dafa melting away the resentment and hatred in my heart. Falun Dafa broadened my mind and made me a truly good person.
One night, more than a year into my Falun Dafa practice, my husband’s friends hurried to my house and told me that my husband had been arrested for allegedly bribing officials with loans he had taken out for investment in another city. The prosecutor’s office was coming to search our home, and the friends told me to hide our bankbooks and prepare myself mentally. They reassured me, and said I should try to think positively. I remained very calm. I told them I started practicing Falun Dafa, and that Master said:
“If something is yours, you will not lose it. If something is not yours, you will not have it even if you fight for it.” (Lecture Seven, Zhuan Falun)
I told them I did not need to prepare. The friends were surprised. One of them said, “We were worried you wouldn’t be able to handle it, but you’re even calmer than us. It seems I should practice Falun Dafa too.”
Years later, when we talked about this, my husband said that his friend indeed started practicing. This seemed to be a major tribulation, yet I, a seemingly weak woman, could face it so calmly and with such equanimity—this is the power of Dafa.
I practiced the exercises every morning and evening. I worked during the day, and read the teachings with other practitioners in the evening, and helped spread Dafa on weekends. My mind was focused, and I forgot about the planned raid on my home. Later on I remembered it and thought, “Why hadn’t they raided our home?” Then I heard that, due to insufficient evidence, my husband had been released without charge. It was only much later that I suddenly realized that Master had resolved this tribulation for us practitioners.
Becoming a Technical Lead
In the past, I took sick leave every month, so my supervisors assigned me minor tasks. Sometimes when there was a shortage of staff, they wanted me to take on projects, but I hesitated to accept them. I was worried that I might have to miss work because I was sick. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, my health improved and I began to take on technical projects. I held myself to the standards of a Dafa practitioner, obeyed my supervisors’ arrangements, did not complain, and completed every task on time and according to the requirements.
I arrived at work early every day to clean the office. I developed a work plan, and I prepared for experiments. After my coworkers arrived, we assigned tasks according to the plan and started our experiments for the day.
I am dedicated and hardworking, and I’m always willing to take on the most challenging and time-consuming early shifts. In the summer, when temperatures were high and there was no air conditioning, I went to the morning market every day to buy cucumbers and tomatoes to help everyone cool down. My coworkers said they were the very fortunate to work with me.
Protected By Dafa
Most of the raw materials we used at work were harmful, highly toxic, or corrosive. The experimental conditions were sometimes high-temperature and high-pressure. If not properly controlled, there was a risk of explosion and fire. Fortunately, whenever I worked on highly dangerous projects, there were always experienced engineers or knowledgeable technicians around to help me.
Some employees had accidents, and were burned or became disabled. In the more than twenty years I worked there, I conducted thousands of experiments, and some were quite dangerous. But I successfully completed them without any mishaps.
One time when a dangerous situation arose during an experiment I suddenly knew what to do to avert disaster. Only now do I realize that it was Master who helped me avoid the accident. Master’s arrangement saved my life and the lives of my coworkers. Without his protection, I can’t even imagine what the outcome would have been.
Dafa Gives Me Wisdom
In early 1999, the company urgently assigned a research and development task on energy conservation and efficiency improvement, which was then entrusted to me by the unit leaders. Time was tight and the task was urgent. A leader asked me, “Can you complete it?” I answered without hesitation, “Yes.” I don’t know why I felt so confident.
A problem arose at the beginning of the project. The material receiving separator on the testing equipment did not meet the requirement. I consulted various people but no one could help. I discussed this my supervisors but they had no solutions.
To meet the company’s efficiency improvement targets, I thought about trying to find a solution myself. I went to the archives to consult the technical data of the production equipment, understand its structure, and learn from the material distribution principles. I designed a separator structure suitable for the experimental requirements. I then drew a sketch of the separator and asked an experienced technician to manufacture the glass receiving separator according to my design. We tried and revised it repeatedly, working tirelessly up and down the stairs. My coworkers had no idea what I was doing. Finally, my hard work paid off, and an ideal receiving separator was successfully manufactured. Experimentation began immediately.
The experiment was progressing smoothly. One day, the leader walked into the laboratory with a worried look on his face, then he exclaimed in surprise, “Ah, you can do the experiment now?” Seeing the separator high up on the experimental setup, he immediately asked, “Who did this?” A coworker pointed at me and said I designed it. The leader exclaimed, “This is innovation!”
I was surprised by the successful modification of the experimental equipment. As a process engineer, I’d never been involved in equipment design and modification before. My hands-on skills were limited, yet I was able to innovate the equipment. The whole process was stable and smooth, which was truly incredible. This is the wisdom given by Dafa.
After three months of testing, we obtained several complete datasets, wrote a technical report, and submitted it to the company headquarters on time. The company leaders were relieved, and thanked me. The project won the company’s Outstanding Scientific Research Achievement Award, bringing honor and substantial bonuses as well as other material rewards to the unit, and all the employees benefited.
Validating Dafa
The leadership followed my suggestions and entrusted me with leading some unplanned projects, such as revenue-generating or exploratory ones. During the persecution the leaders protected me. They accepted the facts about Dafa and they were very supportive.
I neither boasted nor sought credit, but just quietly contributed to the company. I never mentioned my achievements in my performance reports. Today, I am writing about them merely to show the greatness of Falun Dafa.
In my more than 20 years at work, I led and completed more than ten new product development and process improvement projects. I also received numerous awards. I was a technical lead with the highest numbers of achievements in the unit, and I was also a model employee in the eyes of the leaders. I was rated an outstanding employee every year, even during the years of the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa (except when I was illegally detained and persecuted).
Before and at the beginning of the persecution, I did not participate in any competitions for honors because I paid little attention to fame or fortune. Even when my supervisors specifically instructed staff members to inform me about the awards, I did not apply. I later thought: I became well-known in the unit because I refused to give up my belief in Dafa and because I was persecuted by the CCP. Nearly 10,000 employees in the entire company knew that I practiced Falun Dafa. If I received a high honor, the newspapers would publish it, and the television would report it. Then, when people saw me, they would know that Dafa practitioners are good people and excellent employees. This was also an opportunity to validate Dafa. I thought, if there are opportunities in the future, I will participate in the competition too and use the honor to validate Dafa.
As I had hoped, when I stood on the podium, draped in colorful ribbons, the audience in the auditorium watched me quietly. After the television broadcast, the staff and their families were abuzz with discussions. A fellow practitioner also saw the broadcast and told me, “You did so well!” I knew the credit should go to Master.
Conclusion
At my lowest point, I was fortunate to encounter Master and Dafa, and my life was renewed. I went from a chronically ill patient to a key technical lead at my workplace, and I contributed to the company’s growth. Dafa made me happy and broad-minded. The practice transformed me, from a woman with a tragic fate, to the happiest person. Falun Dafa and Master’s compassion enabled me to steadfastly persevere through 27 years of cruel persecution.
Thank you, Master. Thank you, Falun Dafa.
